Bible, King James Version
Psalms
Pss.22
[1] My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art
thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my
roaring?
[2] O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not;
and in the night season, and am not silent.
[3] But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises
of Israel.
[4] Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou
didst deliver them.
[5] They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted
in thee, and were not confounded.
[6] But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and
despised of the people.
[7] All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out
the lip, they shake the head saying,
[8] He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let
him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
[9] But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou
didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.
[10] I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God
from my mother's belly.
[11] Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is
none to help.
[12] Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan
have beset me round.
[13] They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening
and a roaring lion.
[14] I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out
of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my
bowels.
[15] My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my
tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the
dust of death.
[16] For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the
wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
[17] I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon
me.
[18] They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon
my vesture.
[19] But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength,
haste thee to help me.
[20] Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the
power of the dog.
[21] Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me
from the horns of the unicorns.
[22] I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the
midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
[23] Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of
Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
[24] For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction
of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when
he cried unto him, he heard.
[25] My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation:
I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
[26] The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall
praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for
ever.
[27] All the ends of the world shall remember and turn
unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship
before thee.
[28] For the kingdom is the LORD's: and he is the governor
among the nations.
[29] All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and
worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him:
and none can keep alive his own soul.
[30] A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the
Lord for a generation.
[31] They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness
unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
